The MIssing Pictures!!!

So i DID have backup of my pictures!!! The hard drive that was left behind after the '"bad man" broke into my boyfriend's place was actually filled with wonderful wonderful old pictures and art!! Most of which i have been wanting to add to my past blog entries with their corresponding shows. I've been debating wether or not i should add them to their already existing entries, or just start a new one consisting of these pics... i don't like the way you don't have much control of where the pictures go once you've uploaded them... is there an easier way???

Out Of The Blue- Solo Art Show

This was one of my first solo shows i'd had in awhile... it was almost a year ago... i sold a few paintings... i'm still waiting to get my money from that night... did i mention it was almost a year ago???

 So, for anyone who wants to show here... BE WARY!!!

Deightons After Dark 6: Robots Dammit!!!

I made a lil robot for this show named C.H.U.C.K. He was a lil sad robot with so much love to give... he originally had a battery in his head which made his eyes light up, but i decided to remove it since the battery was burning up pretty quick and i didn't want him to catch on fire... he was mostly made of cardboard and spray paint...

A week later i was approached by a friend wishing to adopt C.H.U.C.K.

I accepted, and thought the best way for C.H.U.C.K. to grow up and be a not-so-sad lil robot, was for him to be released into the world.

I just recently bumped into C.H.U.C.K. for the first time since the adoption and to my surprise he had grown into a fine young handsome piece of work. He was very polite and grew a wonderful thick mustache. How proud i am of him! His new parent, Alex Lori, did a fine job raising him.

C.H.U.C.K will soon be traveling to Australia and i look forward to gazing upon pictures of him and reading about his radical adventures. Good luck little one...

...so proud...

Artist Perspective's BREAKOUT

A family friend of mine AJ Lim, started a company called Artist Perspective that promotes local artists(painters, photographers, musicians, fashion, and even culinary) and puts on events to showcase them. "BreakOut" was their first event and it was a great success...

Pushing Sue Aside

Here's a super oldie!! It's the poster for a short i was in called "Pushing Sue Aside" by House Of Ten. It was shot in 2000 or 2001 and i play a girl name Jennifer(how original) who falls for a suicidal loser who just got the shit beat out of him just so he could feel something. It's very special.

Deightons After Dark 4: Nightmares and Dreamscapes

C-DRIVE Magazine

I got my first publication thanks to a colleague of mine, Max Hwang. A group of Vancouver artists called C-DRIVE asked me to submit a few pieces for their feature artist section in the second issue of their Vancouver based art magazine. I don't have the pages scanned at the moment, but when i do i'll add them here...

You can find the magazine at various art book stores, including Oscar's Art Books Store at 1533 W Broadway, just west of Granville.

Deighton's After Dark 3: Girls, Girls, Girls

Another old show, but here it is.
My cousin Liz and i played a set here, as well. My mom passed away a week before this show and earlier that day, i got my latest piercing and then went to the funeral home to check on my mom's makeup and hair to make sure it was ok for the viewing hours before the gig...
...needless to say, my head was elsewhere.
But the show went well and i wasn't nervous at all nor did i forget any words!

I had no fear... i was numb...
